MIDDLETOWN — Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson Inc. will be sponsoring a free festival celebrating all children from noon-3 p.m. Saturday at Middletown's Thrall Park, 21-41 Grove St.

The celebration will be held rain or shine.

Known as El Día de los Niños, the family-oriented celebration will feature interactive activities for children and adults, exhibits, music and entertainment. A wide variety of information and resources will be available.

While El Día de los Niños is designed to engage Hispanic/Latino children and their families, everyone is welcome from throughout Middletown and the surrounding area. The event is a day for all parents, families and communities to value, empower and uplift the children who represent the hopes and dreams of the future.

Last year, El Día de los Niños attracted more than 2,000 visitors. Agencies that support the interests of youngsters or the Latino community have been invited to participate by setting up booths.
